Introduction

Thank you very much for your purchase of Cateye Er­gociser Model EC-3500. The model EC-3500 is a recum­bent type exerciser with a built-in computer designed to

You can do aerobic exercise effectively when your pulse
rate meets constantly a target pulse rate that is decided un­der your age, physical strength and purpose.

Reclining posture can be changed by adjusting the height
of seat. Have a ride in an appropriate posture according to
your purpose that may vary from rehabilitation to intense
training.

Read this manual carefully to achieve maximum fitness
from your EC-3500 and keep it handy.
